That's what I noticed when I made one for my LSV, the rooster tail. Other than that it worked great and did not notice any impact. Will be buying a an official one for the Supra, i think!

Great job on that Trayson, looks fantastic. Thanks for posting pictures of it. I am going to try that on my LSV. One question - how far down below the wake plate does that extend???
Thanks. For the pics. Do you have any of the wake now. Looks great!

One more question tryson, I see the bar you attached to your platform brackets. Did you attach your "FAE" to that bar to keep it in place??? If so, how did you attach it???
Best pic I have of the wake. I'm pretty sure this was taken after install. You can barely see a bulge behind the boat, but no impact on wakeboard wake.Quote:

This is the bar made from aluminum angle bar.Quote:

Since it makes a nice 90 degree angle, I ran it so that it could mate with the outer edge of the tubing that's running parallel to the bar. Then I attached the tubing to the bar with 8 stainless steel hose clamps wrapped around the tube and the bar.
If you look closely, the hose clamps are on the wider parts of the cleanout tee and the 90 degree elbow. They aren't holding the plastic together, as that is done with ABS cement. The hose clamps are actually going around the pipe and holding the pipe against the bar.
That said, I did have some trouble this last week with the rubber coupler pulling off the plastic output flange on the exhaust. The exhaust flange only has a 1" lip and It was doing great as I'd put some SS screws into it to give the coupler extra to 'bite' on. However, when I was driving to the lake, I went over some speed bumps and I think it caused the platform to move enough to yank the couplers off the exhaust flange. I'm thinking about either sourcing a different output flange, or getting something made that makes the lip longer than 1"... Not sure.

Exhaust looks good! You need an aluminum insert ring for that lip. It will give something for the screws to bite into and will keep that 1" ring from getting crushed.
Brilliant.Quote:

Will have screws through plastic and stainless, and then another hose clamp on the extension.
Extension with screws in it.

I ran a 2nd piece of aluminum angle bar so that the top tube would be cradled between the two 90's and couldn't rotate.
